We don’t HAVE to wonder:

When it turned out Benedict Arnold had used sensitive intel against the country...

THEY HANGED HIM.

They didn’t wait around for years, then more years, while judges beard-stroked and made hand tee-pees about whether to release more docs.

We don’t have to wonder, we can simply look at history.

Didn't know about this guy:

Major John Andre --apparently he played some role in the turning of Benedict Arnold.

So it wasn't ONLY Arnold whom they hung, they even hung the people who had SOMETHING TO DO with his betrayal.

The founding fathers would probably shake their heads in disbelief

They would have hanged him, but he slipped away. Arnold switched sides, fought for the British, and fled to England after the war.

His life in England was a series of miserable failures, until he croaked in 1795.

I don’t think so. Arnold died in 1801.

They didn’t hang Arnold. He finished out the war as a British officer and went to England where he was also despised and lived out the rest of his life.

Maj. John Andre, the British chief spy, who turned Arnold was hanged.
